Hi Authenticators,

Picked up this wristlet on a Red White and Blue trip over the weekend - does it look authentic to you?

Thank you so much!

Hello I’m hoping to have this Coach looked at. I bought it at a consignment store. I think it is the vintage Chauncey that is missing a strap? It’s about 7” x 6” x 4”. Thank you for your help!

Thank you in advance. I haven't seen this code before. It is a local estate sale.

It's authentic. It looks like someone tried to doctor it, attaching both straps to make one long strap. You should be able to take them apart and put it back together the correct way.

It's authentic. Tribeca bucket.

Is this a real Bonnie Cashin?
The name of the model appears to be "Big Mouth" and they were made circa 1968-1970.
However I am not sure if its actually authentic, it does not have a coach or bonnie cashin tag, nor a creed.

Thank you so much! I didn’t even realize it was two straps combined in one haha

You're welcome! I had one of these but I had no idea the straps could open. Are they snaps or pegs with holes?

It certainly looks like one. I don't think we can prove it without a Coach or Bonnie Cashin tag.

Oh, that's fine, I just have it for personal use, thank you!

Is this an authentic Coach? And if so, what does the letter E after the style number on a Coach purse mean?

Pardon Our Interruption...

Pegs with holes! But I don’t think they’re supposed to open… I just broke a rivet in half trying to get it out of the hole 🤦‍♀️

It's authentic. If I'm remembering correctly, the E means it was made for a certain department store.

ALthough I don't have any positive verification of what I've gleaned, I've seen quite a few exclusives with "E" at the end and based on what I've seen, stores where I believe the bags were purchased, seller locations, and other pieces of the history, my opinion is that "E" bags were made for Dillards.
